He has experience guiding clients through class actions and other complex disputes in a variety of contexts, including securities litigation, shareholder and corporate-governance litigation, antitrust litigation, bankruptcy-related litigation, and ERISA fiduciary-duty litigation. 

Mr. Bridge's pro bono practice is also wide-ranging and has included work on behalf of noncitizens in removal proceedings, criminal defendants, and plaintiffs in wage-and-hour litigation.
